("call in a favour"

)

Ugh! Hugs...blech! That was a low blow, Your Highness.

Hey, Zelda, look at that! [points, and when Zelda turns to follow cracks LazyScot across the noggin with a crowbar before tossing it to Adrian who quickly defenestrates himself]

What? What'd I do? He was like that when I got here, honest!

*sigh* poor lazyscot, first the d*cks, now this. seriously, don't make me come over there, or i'll demonstrate on you the hug known (affectionately, i swear) as the "straight-jacket of love" by those friends who have experienced it.

If you do that, won't that change the timeline and the results of the Contest ! ! !

Hah! I think you haven't done you studies on number 86. You see, 86 is unstable, as evidenced by it somewhat agressive tendancys and the fact that it is the atomic number of 86. You see, it will decay soon leaving me safe. All I need to do is keep ahead of your little legion of numerically limited lackeys for.. <LazyScot consults the rubber handbook to find out the half life of radon>.... 3.8 days?!!!! <LazyScot performs mental calculations about involving doging differentials and lackey avoidance formulae, and clearly the results are not looking promising.> Fiddlesticks.

Okay you leave me no alternative <LazyScot reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a flask. A large flask. With warning signs on it. Lots of warning signs. The sorts of warning signs even military dictators don't like collecting.>

I know what you're thinking. "What the heck sort of stupid thing is LazyScot up to now?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Zany Carter Reflexive Triple, the most powerful hangover reflexing drink in the world, and would blow your reality clean into a cocked hat worn by neurotic leprechaun sitting on the third star over to the left, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punks?

Think you can get me that easily? Just how many times have I visited Adrian's; you'll have to try harder than that next time. Though you might like to apologies to GeoffC who was standing next to me at the time.

What? What'd I do? He was like that when I got here, honest!

I'm not sure, but I think Reality is having trouble tracking all these edits. Perhaps someone could step in for her for a little while to give her a little breather? Florence, are you busy?

Em, I'd love to help, really, but you see I've got this web site to design, and the paint is getting dry, and the tomato plants are thirsty, and it's going to be apéro time soon. So you see, I'm all tied up here. Barely have the time to type my reply. Really, I'd help you if I could, but you see... OK, well, bye!

montsnmags · 05-23-2010, 09:27 PM

Pfft. If I can't irregularly crown someone with a crowbar, even myself (I've done it before), then what's the point of being here? If I can't send a happy batch of PNS up LazyScot's skirt, why bother? If my positions as CEO of Montsnmags Enterprises, High Gibbonate, and Party MC, along with my invisible friendship with an invisible gibbon and unintended conduit for the dark matter and dark energy of the universes (i.e. the PNS) are going to be repeatedly undermined through use and abuse of timelines, then I'm taking my tempero-spatial toys back and going home.

Enjoy your single, predictable, one-way timeline, llounge-lizards. I'm taking my walks for a dog.

Incidentally, put this in your pipes and count down from it:

FlorenceArt · 05-24-2010, 04:26 AM

Marc, come back! The countdown won't be the same without you! I swear, that 8 in the middle is looking at me in a menacing manner. Do something! Crowbar him!

LazyScot · 05-24-2010, 04:40 AM

28.

28 is one of those quiet, unassuming numbers that most people barely notice and that just gets on with its job. It comes in every day, does the work assigned to it and goes home. Never makes a song and dance about how indispensible it is, or how it has to do the work of many numbers. It doesn't seek super-stardom, or celebrity status, or even promotion. The sort of number one can admire and look up to.

GraceKrispy · 05-24-2010, 04:48 AM

I don't think 29 got enough time. After all, 29 is where about a zillion vain women sit....

pshrynk · 05-24-2010, 08:09 AM

I've always been quite fond of 35, myself...

Yes. 35 is the product of the multiplication of 7 by 5. How cool is that?

poohbear_nc · 05-24-2010, 10:08 AM

25 ... I say ... 25 it is!

The way I see it, the next logical number is 23.
